In his later years, Degas became increasingly blind, which made painting impossible for him. However, his creative energy remained undiminished. He therefore increasingly turned to small sculptures, which secured him a lasting reputation as a sculptor. The "Spanish Dancer" was first cast by Hébrand in 1900.
Original: Bronze, Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Sculpture in fine bronze, hand-cast using the lost wax technique.

Pictures of graceful dancers and colorful theater scenes have been at the center of Degas's oeuvre since the mid-1860s. They belong to the group of everyday pictures that depict urban life. In many of his paintings, Degas criticizes the new modern world. Through unusual detail, he emphasizes the isolation of the individual.
